You get to typing on the main ORDERLOG screen, which hasn't been seen for like days now, even though you've obviously been sending commands to it for a while.

Ey, thank you for the great adventure.
If puttin out good updates means taking a bit longer, that's fine by me.

Eva [Past?]
>Yes. Visitors can come from all sorts of dimensions, why not time?

Past Exa
> Believe

You chose to believe her. You had been visited already by some of the strangest creatures imaginable, as well as Geneviève on more than one occasion-- and this wasn't the first time you had come across somebody claiming to be from not only the future, but a future involving you.

You took a seat, took a breath, and grinned. "Cool. I love stuff from the future. Got any hot tips?"

She struggled to even form a single word, but after a few seconds, managed, "...d-don't, um... uh... urk... you n-need to... uh. C-Come help me on the nickel, i-in the future."

It was quite oddball first command, and you couldn't help but giggle. "Nickel? You're on a nickel, in the future?"

"A big one!" she stammered. "A big metal blue n-nickel, a-and I was there with Dinkalsen, a-and this big monster made out of pipes came and it's... t-trying to push us off into the void. And then Cool Zack made a blue eye thing and I touched it and flew through some kind of screech dimension and ended up here!"

You paused a moment to think. "...Eye, huh? Haven't had it deliver me anyone via eyeball before. But there's a third-fourth time for everything! Got any special items you wanna let me examine, maybe? Time travelers usually do that."

She fumbled around on her person worriedly. "I don't think I..." Then, as if realizing something terrible, she reached up a shaky hand to the side of her round head, took an earpiece from within, and offered it to you. "...this can... i-is it gonna... l-like, break shit?"





"Naw!" you exclaim. "You can't break time. Whatever you're about to do, it really doesn't matter. But it would be very rad if I could talk to somebody from the future on that earpiece."



"Okay, I-I guess," she stuttered. After you took it, she stepped away, and began looking around your bedroom, and you took a moment to put in the earpiece-- only to discover its magic firsthand.

cripesalmighty: Hm? Cripes?
cripesalmighty: You mean Gene’s stupid herosona thing, don’t you?
Crast Pactian: are… you not… her?
Crast Pactian: excuse me, but we are not sure what is happening down there anymore.
cripesalmighty: Hey, that makes two of us!
cripesalmighty: It’s me, Eva. I guess you all know an Eva, too, but I’m not the same one.
tiptopGipgop: …
YUPPERS: is there an OTHER ME?

Crast Pactian: please beware of real names in the chat!!
cripesalmighty: Oh, yeah, though he’s over on Derse right now.
cripesalmighty: Your Gene came and started blabbing about how she’s from the future or something, so if you’ve got any mighty tips to tell me, now’s the time.
cripesalmighty: I’ll make good use of the info, promise.
EXA: won’t that snap the
EXA: time loop zone

EXA: also soo aam iii
cripesalmighty: Do you remember this conversation?
EXA: yeah
cripesalmighty: Then what’s the worst that can happen? Time always sorts itself out. It’s mathematically bound to sanity, after all.
EXA: okay jeez ugh zzz
tiptopGipgop: Cripes, please tell me you’re fucking with us.
Hunk Chudfest: shsnenes’s notgh talking
cripesalmighty: I’m just an arithmancer trying to maths out what’s going on here. I’ve only got a couple minutes left before your Gene gets warped back off, so why don’t you just skip the introductions and tell me your situation.

"My my my, Gene," you said, "you have some really interesting friends nowadays."

It was tough for her to speak, but she responded quietly with, "Can you try and not die t-to the god that's coming? Y-Y'know, tell the heroes?"

That didn't seem too unreasonable. "Maybe if I get the chance, sure."

What seemed fun to do with this future-traveler and her foray of future friends, before it was all sucked away back into the closet?
